Beyond the Roundels

All either for iconcolors or iconthat + alternates - Once Upon a Time, Supergirl, Doctor Who + stock flowers.

Teaser:



( 16 icons in OUaT, Doctor Who & Supergirl plus stock images )

Mostly made over the last few weeks for iconthat and iconcolors, in the interests of small beautiful things against stress. (iconcolors is new - every week you get a colour palette to use for up to 3 icons, and there's no voting. I'm enjoying it a lot so far.)

Teaser:


( 14 x icons for Doctor Who, OUaT, Press Gang & Poldark )

Still catching up!

Day 5

In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Some comms of my own:

tardis_library - a Doctor Who reccing comm, made as a successor (but different from) the lovely calufrax (now inactive, but with an amazing backlist that is still one of the best ways to get at gems from the Teaspoon Archive) - recs from all corners of the Whoniverse, posted anywhere, and in any media format. I'm so pleased with how this has taken off - more people & more recs are always welcome!


historium which I have just set up as a central hub for all history fandoms, whether RPF or fictional to meet, post stuff, or use as a launching pad to set up more specific comms. It's had a great beginning & I need to get back to it once I am a little more recovered.


tic_tac_woe or Apocabingo - a panfandom mini bingo challenge (using a tic tac toe 3x3 card) with all apocalyptic prompts! No deadlines, just sign up for a card & then end worlds/countries etc. or save them as you wish. (Fictionally, obviously.)


who_allsorts - as an extra, because I meant to only include three, but I've a soft spot for this one. It's another Doctor Who community - an old-school prompt table with claiming, but with bite-sized tables. You can sign up for up to two at once and claims are very flexible (anyone can make the same claim, pairings/characters/eras/themes are all accepted, so you can choose how wide or narrow to make it). I created it with the object of enabling more DW content of all kinds, and I still think the prompt tables are very pretty!


Not-by-me communities:

hc_bingo - still my favourite bingo, despite frequently being terrified by the prompts! It's very flexible about interpretation of prompts, and fills can be comfort, or hurt, or hurt/comfort as you please, and any fanworks are eligible. It runs once a year, but there are fun amnesty challenges and you only need to create one fanwork a year to stay eligible for the next round. It's been the perfect excuse to write a lot of things, and I've really enjoyed the Amnesty challenges when I've taken part. (Which are open to anyone if that works for you better than a bingo.)


fic_rush - we need to sort ourselves out for another round soon, but this 48 hour actual ficathon (i.e. writing marathon) has been a wonderful supportive & social ingredient of my journalling life ever since I first plucked up the courage to join. There are ninja penguins, alien fish, glowsticks, and writerly pasta and attempts at galactic domination, but you don't have to worry about that. I mean, until and unless the penguins get you...


I enjoy recs and reccing comms, the main two of which I follow here are fancake (though I never can get myself together to post for a theme) and gensplosion for gen recs (which I have recced for, but am bad at doing), both of which have led me to some excellent fic, and both of which are panfandom.


There are so many comms I like! Here are, quickly, some more:

who_at_50 (general DW comm, despite the name)

Bingos - ladiesbingo, trope_bingo, allbingo and genprompt_bingo. (Of these I particularly like genprompt_bingo (which takes any kind of fills, despite the name, it's just that the prompts are gen prompts) but they're all good in their different ways.)

Icons - iconthat, icontalking, icon_library, icons10in20, icons & fandom_icons. (A mix of challenge and general posting comms.)


Which is probably enough from me, but I still like comms. And that's even before we get to all the exchanges or my other comms I run or co-mod...

A bunch of icons made for various iconthat challenges:

Teaser:



( 12x icons for OUaT, Doctor Who, Thriller, Sense & Sensibility )

34 icons made for the most recent round of iconthat, for ladies10in30, and fandom_stocking.

Teaser:


( Heroes, villains, and fallen princesses )

Some things going on at the moment:

Sign-ups are open (till Dec 15th) at fandom_stocking. (You fill in the form with fannish likes etc., the mod posts a 'stocking' post for you, and everyone fills everybody else's in the comments, and then reveal will be delayed by at least a week while the mod has their annual migraine.) It's very low-key and fun.


genprompt_bingo is open for Round 13! There are no deadlines & interesting prompts with a lot of options, which is cool. (I'm still plugging away at my Round 11 card from last year...) No festive connections of any sort, and all fanworks are welcome. (The prompts are gen; the fills can be any rating/ship/whatever you choose.)


The full list of Yuletide Requests have been up for a while, if anyone's interested in treating! (No sign-ups are needed for treating, no letters, nothing but being seized by a shiny prompt and gifting someone a fic in a tiny fandom of their heart. Well, you'll need an AO3 account, of course.)

(I defaulted, btw. Looking again at my fic only proved that I still cry at the thought of attempting to do anything with it, and so there was only one thing to do. Here's hoping my author is doing okay, and I shall try and be far more careful about what fandoms I sign up for next time.)


iconthat (which is a really fun icon challenge comm) is having an Icon Secret Santa (which I think is going to be run like a Fandom Stocking thing, not an exchange & probably even more unofficial and low-key.

Some icons made for iconthat, for Department S generally, and others spotted lurking on the hard-drive, including Doctor Who, Dracula (1968) & The Forsyte Saga. I like to save up and post in big sets, but that only means some things never get posted!
